CNET Editors' review
Microsoft's Outlook does a good job of retaining all kinds of useful information, but its power and complexity make it entirely too easy to end up with multiple entries for e-mail or addresses. Wisco's NoMoreDupes for Outlook add-on searches out and deletes duplicate entries throughout Outlook. It can help you keep your e-mail addresses and saved messages neat and orderly, but it does much more. It finds duplicate entries in your Contacts as well as duplicate e-mails, but it also searches through your Outlook Appointments, Notes, Tasks, and Journal entries, clearly identifying duplicates, some of which you may have been afraid to delete. With NoMoreDupes, you can choose which files to keep or delete and be sure that the dupes are zapped.
NoMoreDupes' interface presents duplicates in a color-coordinated tree file that makes it extremely easy to see which files are duplicates of which and where each resides. It will search across folders to find redundant entries. It has some customizable options, such as configuring how it searches for duplicate and displays duplicates. You can click each entry to open it automatically to verify duplicate entries before you delete them. Simply select the entries you want to delete, and NoMoreDupes wipes them all at once.
NoMoreDupes for Outlook downloads and installs cleanly but leaves folders behind when it's uninstalled. It's free to try for two weeks and 30 bucks to buy, which is not bad for a home businessperson or others who rely on Outlook to manage their far-flung contacts.
Publisher's Description
From Wisco:
'NoMoreDupes for Outlook' is an Outlook add-in to clean your Outlook duplicates. Not only contacts or emails are supported. All items of Outlook are supported. You can even search across folders. Perhaps you have the same contact in different folders. Search for it - find it - delete it automatically. You can get rid of your doublets in seconds even if you have a big Outlook data file.
What's new in this version: Version 3.0.0.7 has improved when an Exchange account folder was selected but you don't have read access for this folder then 'NoMoreDupes for Outlook' skips this folder.

"Why Offer Crippled Trial?"
Version: NoMoreDupes for Outlook 2.1.2
Pros
Installs easily
Cons
Trial version identifies duplicates but doesn't remove them. UI is not very intuitive so the braille method is required to step through the processes.
Summary
May work with licensed version but offering trial that is crippled won't encourage me to purchase.

"Best add-on downloaded so far. Excellent !"
Version: NoMoreDupes for Outlook 2.1.2
Pros
It allows you to choose even .pst files. Very accurate and speedy. The previous softwares I tried worked for 30min, still leaving behind many duplicates. It searched in seconds & found further hundreds of duplicates and displays them.
Cons
No seen any
Summary
Wonderful and excellent add-on. You can rely on its results.

"OMGosh this is the best product of the MANY tried."
Version: NoMoreDupes for Outlook 2.1.2
Pros
Common sense approach to identifying and removing duplicate e-mails. You can view in groups e-mails identified as duplicates, open and read them before deleting. You can also change the e-mail selected for deletion.
Cons
Does not recognize different transaction numbers identified within the body of an e-mail, so not suitable for PayPal generated messages nor shipper notifications, like USPS, FedEx or UPS e-mails.
Summary
I just purchased a license, after trying the cnet trial download. That should speak volumes. I've been trying out the various Outlook duplicate removal programs for days. Most would not even work with Outlook 2010. This one did, easily and efficiently. The user has full control.

"Works like a charm, easy, and quick"
Version: NoMoreDupes for Outlook 2.0.6
Pros
Searches through all emails and archives and eliminates duplicates quickly. Free version allows ten deletions per search but no limit on searches.
Cons
The free version allows deletion of ten duplicates (if you have more than one duplicate of the same email, it counts as one duplicate). Also the free version only eliminates duplicates in the same folder (like the inbox) and doesn't cross reference.
Summary
I gave this a good trial. I have many email accounts over multiple devices that I have saved over the last 12 years. Sometimes I left the email in the original email account and Outlook would download the file several times (I have no idea why). I had several different outlook calendars, contact lists, etc of differentPDA devices which I had synced over the years. I never want to delete pass emails because I have found they come in handy, if you can find them. After trying the free version and seeing it worked fine, I bought the paid version and let it check everything. It found almost 40,000 different emails, contact lists, and calendar entries. It then proceeded to delete around 7,000 duplicates. Now, that is a good program.
This program is no non-sense. It is simple to use but a little too simple as it doesn't give many options, like rules for setting a priority of which email should be considered the original and the priority of duplicates. But it works.
I used it on Outlook 2003, but it is supposed to work on many different outlook and exchange versions (but I never tried it on others).
